junkyardog53 Posted September 25, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 25, 2007 sold my ride 4 weeks ago,hoping to go to a dealer to sit on a rsv to make sure i'm a good fit for it. every dealer tells me the same story " we don't carry that bike because nobody wants them they want goldwings" the thing is i want one, but i really would like to sit on one before i order one. does new jersey differ in taste from the rest of the usa. any suggestions? i thing i will try pennsylvania,the eastern part.i live in morris county.

Blackjack Posted September 25, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 25, 2007 Apparently the dealers can't distinguish between "nobody", who they can't possibly do business with, and "somebody", who they could. Shame on them for second-guessing their market rather than serving it... Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEER30 Posted September 25, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 25, 2007 My dealer had only sold 1 RSV in over a year prior to me getting mine . Since then , they have sold 9 of them in less than a year . I have some stalking to do ! BEER30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted September 25, 2007 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2007 That's too bad. You can't sell what you don't carry. Not everybody wants GWs either. That's a stupid statement. The dealers around here always have one or two a year. Unfortunately for you, IN is a long ways from NJ. But there have to be some between here and there. Tell them that if they don't want to sell one, you'll go find someone who does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derwood Posted September 25, 2007 Share #6 Posted September 25, 2007 Goldwings? you must be going to a honda dealer, try Yamaha, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkboard Posted September 25, 2007 Share #7 Posted September 25, 2007 If you were in the chicago area you could come over and ride mine! Do we have a member in NJ that could help this guy out? There are a bunch of nice used ones in the classified section, and they have a full 5 year warranty that would still be in effect. Not much difference between the 99' through 08' except color, and pillow top seats. Good Luck, be patient, there is a good one out there for ya!!

seforeman Posted September 25, 2007 Share #8 Posted September 25, 2007 Junkyarddog53, Sorry to hear of your problems. I agree its a shame, East Hanover Yamaha, Speer, Rt 15 Powersports - none of them have a Venture in stock. I will tell you this, about 1 hour west of here (Northern NJ) in an area called (I believe) Quakertown PA, there is a place called Scotts Powersports (take Rt 78 West to 309 South, he is on the left maybe 5-8 miles down). He had a blue and black one in stock about 1 month ago (have not been there since, so I would call first). If your in North Jersey, your welcome to come and sit on my 2000, however I have had the level links (raises the back about 3/4") installed, not sure if that would affect your purchase decision or not. Good Luck. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyHorse Posted September 25, 2007 Share #9 Posted September 25, 2007 every dealer tells me the same story " we don't carry that bike because nobody wants them they want goldwings" Well there you go time to remake the 1st Gen. :innocent-emoticon:My local dealer doesnt carry them either just Roadstars, Roadliners, Warriors.

Condor Posted September 25, 2007 Share #10 Posted September 25, 2007 One of my local Yamaha Dealers received a blue 2007 RSV and sold it right away. Since then they haven't reordered. Or maybe Yamaha isn't delivering?? All I know is that it's tough selling out of an empty basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jneed53 Posted September 25, 2007 Share #11 Posted September 25, 2007 In Dallas, two dealers told me they only get 2 per year. They don't sit around long, though. funny, but you can paick up your choice of Wings all over the place. I guess Yamaha doesn't really want to push the touring market.

Freebird Posted September 25, 2007 Share #12 Posted September 25, 2007 I've seen a few in dealerships here in Ohio. If anybody is interested in coming here to buy one, I will be happy to check who has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnightrider54 Posted September 25, 2007 Share #13 Posted September 25, 2007 I was in Clinton County Motorsports (Wilmington Ohio) today and they had an 07 Blue Raven sitting in the showroom.

CO.Rider Posted September 26, 2007 Share #14 Posted September 26, 2007 Same scenario around here. None at the local Yamaha dealer in Grand Junction. Dealer 60 miles away in Montrose sells both Honda & Yamaha and doesn't have RSV models on hand new or used. Apparently, Yamaha Corp is not pushing their dealers to sell them. What does this mean? I would like to try one out too but not so sure I would buy if this is the way Yamaha is thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jneed53 Posted September 26, 2007 Share #15 Posted September 26, 2007 I don't see that Yamaha is building many, let alone trying to sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted September 26, 2007 Share #16 Posted September 26, 2007 Do a search in http://www.CycleTrader.com You'll come up with a couple in NY. Also a dealer in Maumee, OH always has a lot of them on cycletrader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
